The PROJ4 library supports a Geostationary Satellite View projection. Does Arcgis have any support for this coordinate system, or a way to add support for it?

Anyone have any experience actually getting this geostationary projection to work with real-world data, such as archived data from the GOES-R series satellites? So far, my attempts to get this to work have been been unsuccessful, and the documentation for the Geostationary Satellite Projection is limited. I haven't found much in the way of examples out there, either.

Hi, I downloaded Band 7 from https://www.goes-r.gov/products/data/GOES-18ABI_L1bFullDiskData.html

Just reading this NC to ArcGIS Pro provide a description for the reference via the layer properties - is this usable?

I used the info in the screenshot above to define my map projection. Never used the projection must be said.
